Larry Coryell and The Hot Club of Detroit - Reston Community Center's CenterStage

More than seven decades after the innovations of the Quintette du Hot Club de France, featuring guitar virtuoso Django Reinhardt, combos called “Hot Clubs” carry on the gypsy jazz sound around the globe— in Tokyo, San Francisco, Seattle, Sweden, Norway, Austria, and many other locales. None, however, offers a fresher take on the tradition than does the Hot Club of Detroit, led by fast-fingered Reinhardt disciple Evan Perri.

They are joined by special guest artist, Larry Coryell, who has been described by The New Yorker as “the most innovative and original guitarist since Charlie Christian.” Beginning with his first recordings with Chico Hamilton and continuing through his tenure with the Gary Burton Quartet, Larry has remained in the pantheon of great jazz guitarists for more than forty years.

"Having either the Hot Club of Detroit or Larry Coryell on stage would make for an amazing concert. With them together, we are in store for one amazing evening. In fact, we will be the first to hear a pairing of artists who have been dying to work together for years," said Damian Sinclair, Reston Community Center’s Director of Arts and Events.
